20 SPORT Haby in red hot form for Millicent From back page Reigning national champion, Danny Brown and race navigator George Apted, both from Victoria drove strongly to finish third after suffering turbo problems in the opening round, which cost him valuable points. Tasmanian, Scott Rockliff took fourth place at Sea Lake. Round 3 – Griffith (July 18-20) THE NSW town of Griffith was the next location on the national calendar and outright victory went to South Australian driver, Jack Rhodes, who over the course of the weekend utilised two navigators, David Pullino and Greg Rhodes. A rear hub had cost Rhodes dearly at Broken Hill while he was absent from the Sea Lake round. Andy Ryan (NSW) and naviga- tor, Evan Triaca from Canberra combined to take second place in Griffith while Danny Brown and George Apted gained some more points with a third placing. Penola’s Greg Gartner, with Jamie Jennings in the navigator’s seat had their best finish of the series with fifth, while championship leader Glenn Owen was stymied by a stub axle and could only score five points for the round. By finishing sixth, Carl Haby moved into the outright lead of the series at the expense of the luckless Owen. Round 4 – Goondiwindi (August 22-24) THE penultimate round of the 2014 premiership moved into Goondiwini and Haby celebrated his first win of the season, scoring from Queensland driver Dan Bonnor and his SA based navigator, Shawn Teagle, while third place went to Joe Bulmer and Wayne Bell, also from Queensland. Jamie Knight claimed a modest 13th place in Goondiwindi, but more importantly scored enough points to move into second on the national leaderboard by Haby with just one round remaining. Andrew McLelland is hovering in third place and after finishing second to Danny Brown in last year’s premiership will be out to make every post a winner in the Millicent round.
